cheapest and best lighting i can get for $60

I dissagree.
If you go to Britelite you can get a work horse ballast and 2 x 6500k power compacts and you should be good to go. It will be a little more than what you figured and you will have to make yourself a box/hood to hold the light's.

Work horse ballst $???
PC's something like $12.00 or so.

you may not like the color of the 2 6500k bulb's but it will make thing's grow and survive. If you get the desire you could add an actinic bulbs for color.

cheers
